Hard, Ain't It Hard
AThere is a house in this old town,
And tDhat's where my true love lays aroEund.
And he taAkes other women right dDown on his knee
And he tAells them a tEale he won't tell Ame.
It's hAard and it's hard, ain't it hDard
To loAve one that never did love yEou?
It's hAard, and it's hard, ain't it hDard, great God,
To lAove one that neEver will be trAue
First time I seen my true love
He was walkin' by my door.
The next time I saw his false hearted smile
He was layin' dead and cold on floor.
Don't go to drinkin' or to gamblin',
Don't go there your sorrows to drown.
That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace,
It's the meanest old place in this town
